Short and Hyper Part ii
I am 5'0" tall but fell in love with the Hyper. After nearly 3 months, I was finally able to ride it yesterday with my custom Penske Shock, shaved seat ( Short and Hyper Part 1), and lowering link. Still on tip tip toes, but I am learning to one foot it.
I LOVE THIS BIKE! It is crazy fun in the turns!
Twin set, Hubby has 1100
Had to throw some red on blue Shoei
Custom Penske shock

You live in Florida..... the Clover Leafs (freeway on/off ramps) don't count as turns!!!! LOL.
Glad you're finally able to enjoy your Hyper.

Wow! I am impressed! That's totally awesome! 
I admire your determination to ride this bike and you took the bull by the horn to made it happen!

Haha! Well you can find a few turns if you know where to look (not the interstate, lol). I'm taking it to the mountains in North Georgia in two weeks

Any idea how much the heat from the exhaust may effect the shock performance? I didn't know it was that close.

glad you figured out a way to make you bike better for your height, but remember if your going to do any canyons you better lower the front the same as the rear or it will plow wide in every turnand never turn right.
nice shock too!
